'An engrossing, intelligent and provocative novel in the guise of a conventional mystery' - New York Times Book Review
'A superb job of seamless collaboration. Thrones, Dominations is pure pleasure.' - Wall Street Journal

1936. Lord Peter Wimsey has returned from his honeymoon, eager to settle into married life with his cherished new wife, the novelist Harriet Vane.

As they become part of fashionable London society they encounter the glamorous socialite Rosamund Harwell and her wealthy impressario husband Laurence. Unlike the Wimseys, Rosamund and Laurence are not in love - and all too soon, one of them is dead.

Critics Review

An engrossing, intelligent and provocative novel in the guise of a conventional mystery
New York Times Book Review
Jill Paton Walsh has . . . given us a Lord Peter story in the true Sayers' style and tradition
The Week
A superb job of seamless collaboration. Thrones, Dominations is pure pleasure.
Wall Street Journal
Could this be the best book Dorothy L. Sayers never wrote? She has done a splendid job - certain to please the legions of Sayers loyalists as well as readers new to the Wimsey canon . . . the story is full of twists and connivance
Chicago Tribune
Undeniably fascinating reading for lovers of good crime novels - and, in particular, those who loved the Lord Peter Wimsey series
Liverpool Echo
A must for all Wimsey lovers, this beautifully written novel is a murder mystery in the style of Agatha Christie . . . A truly engaging read

An admirable page-turner with some fascinating detail
